Chapter 785 - 782: Stones from Other Hills_1
Zhao Sheng felt a profound shock after hearing this. He exerted all his strength to control his trembling body and sat up straight.
The source of his shock was the idea of a family ruling over the entire nation. He never expected Bai Qingyan, a woman, to have such ambition and fearlessness at this age.
Zhao Sheng thought about the current Jin Emperor, who was obsessed with alchemy, and recalled the Crown Prince, who was once the King of Qi. Back then, the King of Qi, as Zhao Sheng remembered, never had such audacity or the ambition to unify the world.
His heart pounded as he thought about the Duke of Zhen’s Bai family, renowned across the nations.
He remembered his grandfather mentioning that the Bai family had always taken it upon themselves to assist their rulers in conquering and unifying the land.
Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth. As a general, who wouldn’t want to achieve such unparalleled glory?
But what could he do if the ruler had no such grand ambition? He, a subordinate and now one who was not even valued, could do nothing.
Zhao Sheng’s sharp gaze suddenly focused on Bai Qingyan before him, who clearly was not fragile.
